Tactile switch keeps its head down onboard
Omron has developed a solderless ultra-low-profile tactile switch that reduces production lead-time for operating parts of portable devices.
Omron will maintain the existing supply chain for the immediate future to ensure a stable supply of products.
With this acquisition, Omron aims to expand its business in the FTTH optical coupler market by leveraging the strong customer base of NHK Spring, which is a leading supplier of optical couplers in North America.
Omron also plans to further strengthen its lineup of optical couplers by combining NHK Spring's quartz optical waveguide technology with its own stacked polymer optical waveguide technology to create new high-performance, cost-competitive products.
In addition, the acquisition is expected to stimulate sales of Omron's optical switches and CWDM mux/demux modules.
As a result of this acquisition and the synergies it is expected to generate, Omron forecasts that its optical communications component business will achieve total sales in fiscal 2006 of approximately JPY 2 billion.
